Ok another bad habit of mine. Buying books because of catchy covers. After a series of adventures with vampires I decided to change to something slightly different. Of couse I still like teen fantasy. Because of that I bumped into Halo by Alexandra Adornetto. I didn't know who this author is even though I have came across some of her books before (but didn't buy).Out of curiosity, I wiki her book and biography. I was amazed to find how young she was when she first started writing her first book (she's is still very young now). I admired her through her writing, there were concepts that I did not expect to be written by someone at that age. Although the pace of the story is quite slow in my personal opinion but it is an interesting book to read.
Is the story believable? I don't know! It's just like another version of human x angels instead of human x vampires. The storyline wasn't that much of an adventure and suspend but if you're looking for some supernatural love story then it is a book for you.
Would I continue to buy the upcoming books? Well I heard it is a trilogy but I am not too sure of wanting to continue on. Because I first book did not give too much temptation of the upcoming events. For instance, why would Bethany be different? Where's she from? Why the dark forces are also interest in her. If the author paint a little bit more into the storyline would be interesting. And also I would like Ivy and Michael to have some kind of relationship. I might be talking about plasmephy (don't even know if I spell the word correctly).
Nothing much happens in the sleepy town of Venus Cove. But everything changes when three angels, Ivy, Bethany and Gabriel are sent from heaven to protect the town against the gathering forces of darkness. They work hard to conceal their true identity and, most of all, their wings.
But the mission is threatened when the youngest angel, Bethany, is sent to high school and falls for the handsome school captain, Xavier Woods. Will she defy the laws of Heaven by loving him?
Things come to a head when the angels realize they are not the only supernatural power in Venus Cove. There’s a new kid in town and he’s charming, seductive and deadly. Worst of all, he’s after Beth.
The angels and Xavier must work together to overcome the dark forces – but will Beth survive the battle?
